10. Woodworking

Difficulty to start: 6/10

Woodworking is among the oldest hobbies in human history, and one of the most versatile — it gives you the opportunity to produce anything from toys and figurines to tables and cabinets. The craft combines the innate manliness of working with your hands and the ability to produce finished products that are functional, artistic, or both. Hand tools aren't cheap, and larger equipment (like lathes and drill presses) will be even more costly, but there are plenty of projects a beginner can attempt with a sparse inventory before moving along to bigger endeavors.
